Modify Default Parameters dialog box

The Inspection Plan Defaults File (.ipd)

An inspection plan defaults (.ipd) file determines the following:

- The parameters for an inspection plan imported into the software.

- The parameters for Auto Features, Constructed Features, and Dimensions.

- How to take hits from features within the inspection plan.

- How to display comments and features.

During an .ip import, if you modify an .ipd file to contain feature parameters and sets it as the default, the software modifies the registry settings. It then adds the new feature and uses the registry settings to determine its properties.

The Inspection Plan Rules File (.ipr)

An inspection plan rules (.ipr) file is a Basic script that tells the software how to perform automatic processes on the inspection plan when its imported. Rules can be modified for certain criteria. For example, the number of hits taken on a circle based upon the diameter of the circle and so forth.

Before importing an inspection plan from a CAD file or an .ip or .xml file, you need to set up these files to apply to imported inspection plans.
